I heard this on the NASA stream... but don't quote me on this
You're quoting yourself here, what do you mean? If you're not supposed to say this then simply don't or do it with a throwaway.
Has anyone got a video recording?

Bonus points if any of the debris lands on the barge!
And the NasaTV stream is still going with updates: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/

I saw two big puffs of smoke and initially thought it was the boosters releasing.
On the video it looked to me like a tank ruptured somewhere in the top half of the rocket, probably the second stage, and set free all the fuel. The rocket kept its course for some time until it suddenly disintegrated.

"Don't quote me" means something like, I am not a reliable source and I could be wrong.
As the ship exploded, the words on the screen were something to the tune of "At this point, the ship is under the highest aerodynamic pressure".
From the timeline, and from remembering past launches, I'm pretty sure it was well past Max-Q.
